Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Biscuit or cake base (such as buttery graham cracker crust or chocolate sponge)

Mousse

  • 200g dark chocolate (high-quality)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Raspberry Puree

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Start by making your cake or biscuit base. Whether you choose a buttery graham cracker crust or a simple chocolate sponge, press or layer it evenly into the cake pan. Refrigerate briefly to firm up before adding the mousse.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Stir frequently to avoid burning and to achieve a smooth, glossy texture.
  3. Whip the Cream: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This gives the mousse its light and airy texture.
  4. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Puree fresh raspberries using a blender or food processor, then strain out the seeds for a smooth sauce. Add sugar and lemon juice to balance sweetness and acidity.
  5. Make the Mousse Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate with whipped cream, folding gently. Swirl in the raspberry puree to create a marbled appearance before pouring the mixture over the base.
  6. Chill and Set: Pour the mousse onto the prepared base and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the mousse to firm and flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and cream for smoother blending.
  • Gently fold ingredients to maintain mousse lightness and avoid deflation.
  • Choose fresh raspberries for best flavor and color.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time to ensure mousse sets well without ice crystals.
  • High-quality chocolate significantly improves taste and texture.
